The CEO’s Ex-Wife Is A Famous Doctor By LiLhyz Chapter 90
Chapter 90: Went Viral
“What did you and Keith talk about?” Karise asked on the phone. While Shantelle was choosing clothes to wear, she received a
call from her friend, and this was the first thing Karise asked when she picked up the call.
“What did we talk about? Why?”
Shantelle asked back.
“It’s just that he never stays overnight, ever!” Karise revealed. “So he is at my apartment, and his sexy ass is still in my bed. He
never does that. Every night, he always leaves when we – you know – do it.

After choosing a dress to wear, Shantelle lifted her brows. She can never be like her friend, Karise or Keith, for that matter. They
both could casually hook up with anyone without establishing feelings or
connection. The only man she had ever
slept with was Evan, and oh, how she
thanked the heavens Evan hadn’t been
intimate with anyone else either.
“I did not say anything relevant.”
Shantelle did not want to tell her friend
how she suggested giving Karise a try. Instead, she implied, “I told him that he
should... move on from me and open up to
others. Who knows, he is considering you
“Pffft!” Karise reacted.
“What?” Shantelle asked.
“Did you know that Ivana Lee, the supermodel who attended the party last night, flirted with Keith, right in front of me – the
nerve,” Karise said. “Many women want to be with him -‘
“But who was Keith with last night? Who did he go home to?” Shantelle answered.
“Oh, don’t give that crap. I might develop feelings,” Karise said.
Shantelle laughed. She pointed out, “I think you already did.”
“What? No!” Karise shot back. The two
friends continued to argue about it until
Shantelle excused herself.
“Karise, I need to go to the heart and lung
center. I’m sorry to cut you off, but I need to have Lucas checked,” Shantelle said.
I’ll call you later?”
“Okay, girl. Thank you for taking my call. By the way, you have gone viral again. Everyone is talking about Jessica Turner’s
drama. Check it out. I’ll – Oh, my god,
Keith! Why are you walking naked in my living room – “Karise ended the call,
making Shantelle’s eyes widen.
It took a few seconds for Shantelle’s
senses to return after discovering how far
her friends, Keith and Karise, had gone.
She changed into her clothes and wound up checking online.
News about Jessica was indeed
everywhere. On social media, people were mocking Jessica, calling her a scheming bitch. Then, there were remarks about
Shantelle. Many complimented her for fighting back with her intelligence and knowledge of anatomy. What stood out to her,
however, were the comments about involving Evan. She read:
[I’m backing off from crushing on Mister
Thompson.]
[Mister Thompson is a scary man. He has the city in the palm of his hand. No one
should have messed with his wife. Else,
he will pin just about any lawsuit against
you.]
[It’s excellent how Evan Thompson
protected his wife.]
[I heard he doesn’t let any other women approach him. Only his wife could stay
close to him.]
[Any other women out there fantasizing about Evan Thompson? Carefully, your might end up with the same fate as
Jessica Turner – behind bars!]
There was much more for Shantelle to
read, but she stopped after a few minutes
of scrolling down. She had more
important things to do. Ultimately, she understood what good came out of everything; the public realized how far Evan would go
for Shantelle. She
certainly hoped the news about Jessica
scared off all the other women who were
after Evan.

In the car, while Howard was driving the family of three to the heart and lung center, Evan was frowning.
“Evan? Are you still upset about the
chicken?” Shantelle could not contain her
laughter as Evan acted like he was
incredibly hurt.
“Yes, I am upset with myself,” Evan replied, shaking his head.
The man cooked for them, and he was proud of his efforts. Evan made a pan- fried pesto chicken fillet. The flavor was great, but
he overcooked the chicken, and it became rubbery.
When Shantelle only ate one piece of the chicken, Evan immediately knew it did not meet her standards. She said good
words about the flavor since it was
delicious. However, Evan knew her well; besides, they had just had hours of bed exercise, which should have made her
extremely hungry.
So when Evan tried the chicken himself,
he fell silent and decided to cook bacon
and eggs. In the end, they had a regular breakfast meal. So much for his specialty
chicken.
Lucas, who was next to Evan, laughed with his mother. He said, “Daddy is so silly.”
“I am a Billionaire CEO. They say, I am
the most desirable man in Rose Hills,
but... I can’t cook,” Evan stated about
himself.
Howard chuckled with the family.
Shantelle held Evan’s arm and pulled him.
down to kiss his cheek. He said, “Thank you for cooking breakfast. It was still great, but just a little tough to chew. All you need to
remember is that chicken. breasts cook faster than thighs and drumsticks.”
Evan sighed. He wrapped Shantelle in his arm and asked, “How is cooking so easy for you?”
“It wasn’t always easy for me,” Shantelle
said. “I used to work hard
–
practiced to
make the best dishes so you would have a decent meal every day.”
With the sudden recollection of the past, Shantelle softly said, “I – I wanted you to appreciate me.”
While Lucas was clueless about what
Shantelle was talking about, Evan
tightened his hold around Shantelle. He leaned in and kissed her cheek. Pressing his lips against her ear, Evan said, ‘I’m sorry. I
wanted you to know that I did and missed your cooking every day, but you don’t have to cook for me now. I want to learn how to
cook for you and Lucas instead – well, not every day, but I will try to make time always.”
Shantelle’s smile widened while looking
at him. She grabbed the collar of his shirt
and warranted a kiss. After a peck, she
replied, “If you insist.”
“Mommy! Daddy! Can I get a kiss too?” Lucas asked, inserting himself between his parents from the backseat of the car.
Evan and Shantelle laughed before moving Lucas in between them. They
both take turns pecking his cheeks and wound up tickling him too. Laughter
filled the air within the car, and their eyes gleamed in cheer.
Howard said, “Do I hear wedding bells, Mister Thompson? Misses?”
Evan smiled.
Shantelle flushed.

“Wow, my son is so brave!” Evan
remarked, seeing Lucas willingly stretch his arm to the man in charge of collecting the blood sample.
Lucas laughed and said, “I’m used to it, daddy. Mommy always takes me for a yearly check-up.”
“That’s great. Mommy takes care of you well,” Evan said, nodding his head. He looked outside the glass window and saw
Shantelle speaking to one of the doctors.
on duty. He was the one who
accompanied Lucas to the collection area of the center’s laboratory.
After a sample of Lucas’ blood was taken, the father and son stepped outside. Evan overheard the female doctor’s report to
Shantelle, “He underwent a heart
transplant across the state, at the LH Heart Clinic, but after being sent home, he experienced heaviness in his chest and just
collapsed!”
The female doctor took a deep breath and described, “We had a CT scan done, and it would seem like one of his major veins
was sewn in together – not entirely, but it restricted the blood flow to his heart -”
“Okay, prepare the operating room. Offer the family the option of robotic-assisted surgery,” Shantelle instructed. “It will reduce
operation time and hospital stay, benefit them in the end rather than
cutting the patient’s chest open again.”
“Yes, Doctor Shant. Thank god you are. here today,” said the doctor. She nodded. in Evan’s way, greeting him before rushing to
the patient’s aid.
When Shantelle turned to Evan, she
reported, “I have an emergency
operation. A heart transplant has gone wrong.”
“Go,” Evan said. He turned to Lucas and declared, “I guess I’m going on a date
with Lucas.”
“Date with Daddy?” Lucas asked, turning
to Evan.
“Just you and me, Lucas. What do boys
do?” Evan asked.
“Ice cream and popcorn!” Lucas announced. “Arcade, obstacle course, race track, movie, and basketball!”
